ATHLETIC NOTES.
Plans for Spring Regatta—Work of
the Various Teams,
In addition to the regular class races
held at the Spring regatta in . :mpeti-
tion for the Cuyler Cup, races will be
held this year between scrub crews,
made up in the various classes, prob-
ably according to dormitories or eating
clubs. It is generally thought that the
idea of encouraging more men to take
part in regularly organized athleticcon-
tests is a good one, and closer inspec-
tion shows that there are many men in
every class who would be ready and
anxious to row on such crews in the re-
gatta. Combined efforts are being made
this year by the Yale Navy Manage-
ment and the Dunham Boat Club to
stimulate interest in this matter.
It is the plan of these clubs to fur-
nish two paper shells, two eight-oared,
two four-oared and four pair-oars.
Crews will probably be organized in the
near future and will then be supplied
with coaches by the University man-
agement, so that work can be done
systematically and thoroughly. Con-
siderable interest has already been
‘shown among the undergraduates to
enter into the plan with enthusiasm,
and there is every reason to hope that
a very successful and unique feature of
the Spring regatta many thus be added
to the regular program.
The work of the crew has progressed
steadily during the past week, the men
having been at the harbor regularly
every day. The launch has been made
ready for use and Mr. Cook has been
greatly aided in his coaching thereby.
Mr. G. A. Adee, ’67, was at the boat
house last Saturday, watching with in-
terest the progress of the crew. The
first crew rowed as follows last Mon-
day: J. H. Simpson, ’97, stroke; G.
Langford, ’97S., 7; P. Whitney, ’98, ie A
H. Bailey, ’97, 5; G. T. Marsh, ’98, 4; H.
G. Campbell, ’97, 8; R. Hitchcock, ’978,
2; D. F. Rogers, ’98, bow. There are
eight other men in the squad.
BASE BALL CANDIDATES REDUCED.
The work of the University baseball
men has been carried on at the Field
whenever the weather has permitted.
The following now compose the squad:
Finceke, Reed, de Forest, Turnbull,
Hecker G. and F., Betts, Wadsworth,
Hamlin, Stewart, Chauncey, Ware, Da-
vis, Wallace, Atkin, Montague, War-
ren, Burrell, Conner, Bement, McKell,

PLANS FOR THE TRACK TEAM.
The management of the University
Track Team have completed the sched-
ule of events, in which the Yale team
will take part for the remainder of the
year. It has been definitely decided
that Yale will not meet Princeton this
year in dual track athletic games, as
there are so many events in which the
men will have to take part, that it
would not be an easy task to make ar-
rangements for the meet.
Yale will enter a relay team at Chi-
cago against the University of Wis-
consin, April 17, and a team will be
sent to the annual relay races of the
University of Pennsylvania, April 24.
In addition to these most of the track
men will probably be entered at the
annual spring games of the Princeton
Athletic Association; at the annual
games of the Seventh Regiment in
New York; at two preliminary meets
at Yale Field this Spring; at the dual
meet with Harvard here, May 15; and
at the annual intercollegiate games at
Mott Haven, May 29, where they will
meet representatives from all the prin-
cipal universities and colleges. The last
event of the season will be the inter-
collegiate relay race, which will be
one of the events in the games of the
New Jersey Athletic Club at Bergen
Point, May 31.
Six men will probably be taken on
the trips to Chicago and Philadelphia.
There are seven now at the training
table, and the number will be increased
before long.
The work of the sprinters has been
performed on the old gymnasium lot,
Which has recently become hard and
dry enough to serve for practicing
Starting and short dashes. It is hoped
that the track at the Field will be in
good condition in a week or two.
PENNSYLVANIA DEFEATED.
Yale Basket Ball Team Victorious.
Work of the Season.
Yale and the University of Pennsyl-
vania met in athletics for the first time
in nearly four years at the gymnasium
on Saturday, March 20. The game was
basket ball and Yale won by a score of
82 to 10. Four hundred people assem-
bled to see the game and witness the
reunion of the two universities. Upon
entering the hall, the Pennsylvania
team gave a cheer for Yale and Yale re-
sponded with nine rah’s for Pennsyl-
vania.
After short preliminary practice the
game began promptly at 8:30. As all
players of basket-ball know the three
most important points in the game are
team play, accuracy in throwing and
“snap.”’ The fact that running with
the ball is prohibited makes the first
of these perhaps the most important.
It was evident from the start that while
both Yale and Pennsylvania played a
quick, snappy game, the Yale men
were more accurate in reaching the
basket. The team play on both sides
was remarkably good, and if the Penn-
sylvania men did not do quite as well
at first, this was probably due to their
being on a strange floor, as they played
in almost perfect unison in the second
half.
Yale started out well and Beard
caged the first goal in forty-five sec-
onds. This was followed by another by
Sharp and a goal from foul by the
same player. In the next play Beard
was pushed hard against the wall and
was slightly dazed, but resumed play
after five minutes’ rest. The fourth and
fifth goals were made by Captain Peck,
and the next two by Clark and Rock-
well, all of Yale. De Loffre now made
the first goal for Pennsylvania. At this
point the visitors took a decided brace
and caged two more goals before the
end of the half. The Yale men, who
seemed to be everywhere at once, scored
five more goals before time was called.
During the intermission a tumbling
exhibition was given by C. F. Gloth,
"Ot; 2. M...Anderson,.’988,:. A. H... Ter-
ry, 98; H. L. M. Hoffman, ’97, and B.
L. Cadwalader, ’98, and an excellent ex-
hibition in club swinging by Mr.
George A. May, of the Yale Gymnasi-
um.
In the second half the playing proved
much more even than earlier in the

game, and the interest of the spectators
was heightened to a considerable de-
gree. Two goals were caged by Penn-
sylvania in this half and five by Yale,
making the final score 32 to 10 in Yale’s
favor. The features of the game were
a very difficult goal by Beard of Yale
and a pretty dodge by Milligan of Penn-
-sylvania, that resulted in a goal. The
line up and summary is as follows:

THE YALE PLAYERS.
The men that have represented Yale
during the season are W. H. Peck, ’98;
Tos) Beard, -°99;- J3 x Clark, *39; M.
W. Rockwell, ’98S; and A. H. Sharp,
special.
William Hazen Peck, ’98, is from New
Britain, Conn., where he prepared at
the High School. He played for four
years before entering college and was
elected captain of the team a year ago.
Luther Louis Beard, ’99, played for
two years before entering Yale at Wit-
tenberg College, Ohio, where he was
captain of the team. He may be said
to be the surest man on the team.
John Kirkland Clark, 99, prepared ait
the Brooklyn Folytechnic School, and
had some experience in the game before
coming to Yale. .
Maxwell Warren Rockwell, ’988S., is
from Woodstock, Conn. He began the
game last year and in the short time
he has played has developed into a
good player. His best point is his accur-
ate throwing for the basket.
Alexander Harper Sharp of New Ha-
ven played for the first time this win-
ter. He took to the game from the first
and is one of the best men on the team.
Of the 150 goals made by Yale dur-
ing the season, 54 were thrown by
Sharp, 33 by Clark, 25 each by Peck and
Beard, and 13 by Rockwell.
